Elika then walked toward Ichiro and spoke with shaking voice" Little brother aren't you afraid that you got kidnapped "
" Me afraid " Ichiro spoke while pointing his index toward himself then to his his mouth he spoke with smile after a little thinking "hmmm Yeah I guess a little "
Elika was again speechless and though ' no one will believe you if you speak it like that '
After Ichiro finished eating his drink arrived . No 3 brought a can of coca cola . When he arrived everyone was afraid of him and moved far away from him .No 3 smiled at that but when he looked at Ichiro he saw he was smiling and waving at him like he was greeting an old friend. It was a headache to him.
" Here is your drink ." said No 3 as he gave the cola to Ichiro. And Ichiro was a little happy to when he got it . And he kept talking nonstop . No one will believe it if someone told him that he was a hostage who got kidnapped.
No 3 runaway from Ichiro as Ichiro started speaking nonstop . He can't even scare Ichiro .
2 days went away like that. Ichiro kept fooling around with everyone . He started talking whenever any kidnapper comes . Except no 1 no one were able to handle Ichiro. For Ichiro the dark room was always lively . All the hostages also started talking. The tense atmosphere around them was able to calm down but not entirely. As everyone was aware that what was going to happen to them. But as they knew that remaining like that wouldn't turn into anything so they joined Ichiro into his stupid discussion.
But when 2 days went away the atmosphere again turned tense. .
Sometime later people entered the room . They brought everyone else outside. No 1 was there.
He smiled wickedly at them . Everyone was scared except Ichiro who wanted at no 1 .
" Hello little brother . It is really regrettable that we can't meet again . We really had some good times with each other but good things ends faster . " He said
" Yes it's true but we might meet each other again " said Ichiro .who smiled
" Aren't you afraid that what might happen next " No 1 was a little surprised that Ichiro was still able to calmly speak . No matter how much idiot a boy was he should be able to the tell what was happening after staying 2 days in here.
" No I'm happy to live and eat here without needing to work and study. By the is there going to be any WiFi at our new destination "
This time no 1 was left speechless . He smiled wryly at Ichiro's question and replied simply " Maybe or maybe not " He can't help but to think how can a person be so idiot.
Everyone then got in bus . Every hostages were crying . Elika was really depressed. She knew what was going to happen next . She looked at Ichiro and sighed .
Actually Ichiro was not an idiot . He has a plan to escape . But to execute that he needed to behave like a idiot . He is not a genius to plan anything. It's just that He watched something similar in an anime. What was the name of that anime? Well whatever , that's not important.
The bus was very silent. Only the sound of crying and weeping was heard. Also the sound of laugher from the kidnappers . No 1 occasionally talked with Ichiro
After 1 hour of journey. They arrived at a ridgeway . There was a path to downward from the hill . Another path toward the top of the hill. They went to downward .
After 10 min or so they crossed the road. They arrived at a isolated area . There was only green and green nothing else. After a minute or so They saw some houses and stores . At that time Ichiro spoke to no 1. " I need to go to the bathroom. "
" Eh " no 1 frowned .
" It's emergency "
" Not now " No 1 looked outside and said .
" Hey old man if my favorite dress gets dirty you'll need to buy me a new one . Plus I Might do it here in your face. " said Ichiro while pointing his finger toward no 1.
No 1 looked frowned and laughed out loud. Then he called no 3 and no 4 to bring Ichiro to do his work. He didn't think anything deeply.
Elika and the others also didn't thing anything else.
No 3 brought Ichiro into a store's restroom . " Do it fast we need to go "
" Hey man . I need to calm down to do it smoothly . Doing anything fast will not done the work properly. Don't you know. " said Ichiro with a big smirk.
No 3 didn't said anything else and stayed outside of the restroom with no 4 . He doesn't want to talk with Ichiro . It will only make his mood bad.
He waited waited and waited . He looked at his watch and saw that 5 min went away. " Just how much shit he has? Wait . Something is wrong . " First he didn't noticed anything but then he thought of a possibility. He quickly entered in the restroom and knocked at Ichiro's door . " Hey brat come out . Hey are you in there " no one spoke.
He broke the door and so no one was there . There was only a window opened ajar .
" F*ck , we were cheated by that brat " cursed no 3.
" What should we do now . He likely has escaped from the window " said no 4 with a frown. "
" What else . Go , you search there and I search there " said no 3 as they ran outside from the store,
Meanwhile 5 min ago.
When Ichiro saw that no 3 and no 4 went outside he screamed in his mind " F*ck there is no WiFi . Who will stay here if I can't even watch anime? Dragon ball Z's new episode is waiting for me. Now is the correct chance to escape."
He looked at the window which was big enough only to fit him
" Luckily I'm as thin as a skeleton " He jumped outside from the window . Crossed the boundary wall of the store. He ran cautiously .
He arrived at a telephone booth . " Luckily they didn't search my hidden pocket where I keep my money "
He put some coin in the telephone. Dialed in a number .
" Hello it is _____ police department and bla bla bla "
Ichiro talked with the police.
" Yes yes , right it is green hill . I saw some building like ______. Right now I'm in a telephone booth front of a store named _____ . My parent's phone number is _______"
After that " Phew everything is OK . I don't need to think about the hostages anymore . I need to run from here as fast as possible . Right now they should be aware about me "
Ichiro ran through a path filled with trees.
'I need to run fast , Shit someone is running fast behind me . I remember that man was beside no 3 . He is number 4'
" Stop there you brat or else I'll shoot " said no 4 as he drew a hand gun from the back of his pant
" Shit he has a gun . " cursed Ichiro.
" In PUBG if opponent has a gun then running forward is a bad idea , might as well run zig zag . " said Ichiro to himself . But then he looked forward and found that it was not necessary as there was a thick forest in the front. He ran there.
No 4 followed him from behind. He can't shoot Ichiro as Ichiro kept shielding himself as he ran through tree to tree. Plus he didn't want to shoot Ichiro in the first place. They are only some small hoodlums of the underworld. Having a gun is good enough . Casually shooting will be dangerous for them.
After sometime later Ichiro saw that there was no path in the front. He arrived at the edge of the hill.
" Stop there kid . You run very fast . Hehehe but no one can escape from me ,no 4 of the black panther group" Laughed no 4 as he moved toward Ichiro slowly.
Ichiro kept moving backward. He saw that the hill's edge was facing a small water stream under with 80° angle . But there is many rock fallen here and there close to the edge of the river.
' By now the police surely have caught the gang. If now I surrender myself then when he finds that the gang was caught he would kill me. So surrendering is a bad idea. And jumping from here is a bad idea too. But there will be a chance to survive if I successfully jump . Hmmm ' He kept thinking ' might as well jump from here. I remember how to jump in to water as I watched the anime " Free " , Surrendering will end my life here and now and jumping will end my life with same fate but there is still a chance , so I might as well jump ' Ichiro thought to himself as he spotted a tree bark beside an old tree close to him.
" Ok I lost. I surrender " said Ichiro as he put his hands up and slowly walked toward no 4 .
No 4 laughed , He walked toward Ichiro and spoke hahaha you have made things a lot difficult for me. Boss liked you a lot but now you ha__" suddenly Ichiro ran forward pushes him slightly and slides toward the tree.
" Hey don't play any tricks with me , This time I'm really gonna shoot " no 4 was angrily shouting at Ichiro .He pointed his gun at Ichiro's leg. He was really pissed off .
But Ichiro didn't stopped, He ran toward the old tree , picked up the bark and jumped from the hill . " AHH "
" What the f*ck are you crazy . " No 4 was flabbergasted at Ichiro's action. He hurriedly arrived at the edge and saw that Ichiro was sliding from the hill using the bark beneath him. He was astounded at the sight. He thought that Ichiro is crazy to escape like that. It is 200 meter high from the ground. 200 meter is not a small height .
Right now Ichiro was having a great amount of torture. He was sliding down at high speed as 80° is still facing downward enough , plus the ground is not stable .
At this moment Ichiro looked down and thought ' It is time ' Now the ground is closest toward the small stream .
If he kept moving forward he will fall cause there will be no ground there soon as the edge will shrink backward.
*Gulp* He gulped a big amount of saliva. He was very nervous as jumping from here is very dangerous . It is almost 150 meter high from the stream. Obviously he is scared. He will never forget this 3 days of his life.. First being kidnapped. Then being brought to a unknown place, Acting like an idiot so that nobody put guard against him , escaping from that place with his life hanging , and now jumping from this high.
" Now or never, Ahh now is the time to display Haruka Nanase's special jumping technic " He stood up slight and put all his strength in his 2 hands and lifted his legs and put his back toward the tree bark and face toward the sky and crouched and got his strength back , with all his strength he kicked the ground and sho . He fell toward the water stream" Ahh!"
He fell at a rocket speed . There is so much wind crashing against his face that it is hard to keep his open so he had to close his eye again and again , he know that he have to keep his eyes open so he can observe the surroundings . He put his hands forward , there was also the tree bark . He caught it at the last time.
He kept falling , it became 3 seconds already and it is enough to cross the distance by a large margin . The stream is in front of him and he is on then center of the stream but still there is a rock. He is going to crash against it if he kept falling , but he is not a superman or spider man who can alter there way in the air.
So to survive he put the tree bark in front of him . And when he was very close toward the edge of the small rock he shielded himself from it with the tree bark and pushed to generate enough force to alter his way slightly. Luckily the rock's edge was facing him not the whole rock . So with that push with perfect timing he saved himself from dying .
* splash* He fell into the water stream and waters splashed everywhere. He took a deep breath as soon as he popped out from the water " Ahh , My arms are aching so much , It became numb as I blocked the stone . My whole body is aching all over from the water force . Thanks to tje god I am safe and this stream is deep enough to fit two person or else I would have to greet Ryuk with light yagami.
He somehow got out of the water with his aching body. " Man it hurts " He then looked up . He barely saw a person standing there.
Yes , no 4 was standing there and was staring at Ichiro , It looked like his eyes gonna pop up from there sockets soon.
" Oh shit , he is still standing there, is he observing me where am I going . Oh no I need to run from here , don't know if they have more people stationed out here."
He ran all the way into a small cave in a hidden place he luckily spotted when he jumped from the hill.
